A lot of my new position has me walking all around the city of London with a heavy case picking up and returning pieces for shoots. Unfortunately, my ballet flats and cute sandals were not cutting it. I had to finally give in and get some shoes with the support I need to last me all day. Sneakers. Yes, sneakers. I haven't worn sneakers anywhere but the gym since I was in elementary school, so deciding what to get was quite the challenge. I've always been scared to rock J's or dunks or something comparable because I'm so tall. I don't want to look like a WNBA player. I want to look chic, but be able to walk by 6pm. I settled on Chucks. I kind of love them, but I'm still getting used to the idea. Here's a peek of my first look in my new kicks!

I wore this outfit for a menswear magazine shoot last week. I had to keep it super casual and comfy, and naturally I rocked a red lip. Gotta keep it funky!
Here are some shots from the menswear shoot I worked on last week:
So many wonderful things going on in my life! Stay tuned for more updates on my work!
Congrats Mercedes - sounds exciting!!! Speaking of comfy all-day walking shoes...have you tried the sneaker wedges (like the Isabel Marant's? They will give you the height of a heel, but comfort of a sneaker. There are tons of more affordable versions too :) Glad to see you're breaking into the industry - exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I did find a wedge sneaker at Topshop! I've only worn them like twice, but I haven't broken them out for an all day affair yet! I definitely will have to soon.
